McAlpine promotes Age Scotland “Let’s get moving” campaign

South of Scotland MSP Joan McAlpine yesterday met with representatives from Age Scotland to support their campaign “Let’s get moving”.

Age Scotland is working to raise awareness about the important of physical exercise. The campaign focuses on the health benefits which include preventing health problems such as type2 diabetes and heart disease, as well as the mental health benefits such as improving your confidence and overall quality of life.

Joan McAlpine commented:

“It was a pleasure to meet with the Age Scotland representatives today and learn about their campaign ‘Let’s get moving’.

“They are doing a great job of promoting physical exercise and its fantastic health benefits.”

The United Nations' Special Rapporteur had this to say on how the UK Govt approaches poverty: “British compassion for those who are suffering has been replaced by a punitive, mean-spirited, and often callous approach." https://t.co/vYdESbMuyV
